Didnt renesmee also have the ability to break any shield that is why she could comunicate with bella just like she comunicated with everyone else? The exact opposite abilities of her parrents?

And although many of you think powers arent rare anymore you have to see that the voturi had broughten along enough witnesses to the occasion to prove what happend and spread the word but not enough that they couldnt kill all of them. and that was like 30 some witnesses and I only heard of one that had a power... so i think in this case that the Cullens were blessed to achieve the abilities they had and only 5 of 9 (including renesmee) had powers... The volturi on the other hand had been search for as long as they had lived for vampires with these special powers and One of the three Leaders, Caius, didnt even have a power... and I am sure that the vampires that were mentioned in the novel were not the only vampires in the world, I am sure there is many many more out there and so it is quite possible that there were so few vampires with talents that they all met up at this same point... who knows though at this point i am just blabing...

I havent heard anyone talk about alec's power yet either which seems very very interesting, the ability to paralize mass amounts of foes with no struggle, it seems almost limitless to the amount of peoples he can stop dead in their tracks... Only bella has a power that can spread like that and we dont even know if hers is a potent as alecs...

Many people think benjamins tallents are extrordinary but in BD it said that it would have no physical effect on a vampire, only a stunning one in the first few attacks (accept for fire which could be used to burn the bodies of fallen foes)

Bella and Edwards powers seem the most prominent to me. Bella has the ability to avoid almost any other vampires special ability with the acception of Jasper, Alice and James from the first novel, this stops almost any vampire who has used their ability as a cruch depending on it, not only that but she can extend it around as many other people as she please, that is true power... Edwards also seems unbelievable, I t would seem that it would make it impossible for him to lose in a fight against anyone accept for Alec and Jane or others like them, the ability to predict what the oppent would do seems almost too good to pass up offensivly as well as the ability to listen to the opponents stradegies...

Got A Draft, I would love to read it!Searching for the a girl that will laugh at every stupid joke I tell. Who I want to hold until the end of time. The girl who I can call mine and who will call me her's... she is out there... I know...-Dylan

by far i think edwards powers are the coolest. and no its not because its edward (that is just plus.) but who wouldnt want to read minds. maybe its just me but im always trying to find out what others are thinking. and it best fits edward becauses he doesn't use it to find things about himseld only for bella and the better of others.

I believe Bella's projection of her shield is all mental. She used mental images in her mind to assist her concentration, but she's not like, standing out in the middle of the potential battlefield playing a mime.

the cops & the kids & the cats & the robbers& the stolen moments from the out of tune guitars

I love how you learn more about the vampire powers in Breaking Dawn.One of my favorite parts in Breaking Dawn is when the vampires are helping Bella learn to develop her power, you see such how other's powers work like Kate and Zafrini. Another was during the "almost battle" when Bella's power was really being put to the test and how she rubbed itin Jane's face *I laughed so hard when I read this part*, also before the "almost battle" when all the vampires where getting ready; like when Ben was shifting the rocks and moving the dirt.

I just wish that Garrett could have had a power; he seemed like such a strong and amazing character, I was suprised he didn't have a power.

I'm curious, what do some of you think your talent would be if you were a vampire? =)

I think mine might be either:1) a LOUD noise that can make people lose hearing for a while (I have a deathly loud voice now... lol)2) when I'm angry, I can send a shock through people or something like that (I can have a temper at times.. ) lol

Yeah, for me Alec talent was really amusing when Edward described it. It would've been 'interesting' to see the effects of it. Imagine, being left in the dark without any senses ...

Other talent 'useful' for me was the one's of Maggie and Charles which was to know when someone was lying, right? (I'm not sure of Charles talent). It might be quite useful in moments of tension, to know if something is real or not.

Another special talent it's Jaspers. To control emotions around you, feeling what everyone is feeling...it might be tiring sometimes and maybe disturbing but wow! To make feel people more happy or at least make them relax, really good.
